Pizza & a wine shop that will fit into my kitchen

We have to report that what is posted on the Facebook page of Blue Water Cafe is true.

Why would you want to eat pizza anywhere else?

Why would you want to eat pizza anywhere else?

Found in the original, Cape Dutch homestead of a farm on Slangkop Ridge which was established to provide fresh food to sailors ages ago, the cafe boasts beautiful surroundings and peaceful ambiance. The ornamental peacocks are amazing and the chickens pecking between the tables, pretty but stupid.

The rustic pizzas on paper-thin bases are delicious and over deliver on price. What a surprise to find fresh spinach instead of the usual frozen substitute.  The seafood pizza has to be the best around. No skimping on the filling and beautifully adorned with prawns and mussels in their shells.

Imhoff Farm is a great family destination with lawns where the kids can dash about or tree climb The Magic Faraway Tree or visit the animal farm. Sunday’s are the busiest day so book ahead for a meal or be like us and visit mid week.

Mining threat to Cape Town’s winelands rears it’s horrible head again

On Monday 15th March a post in the Facebook group - STOP mining our winelands – warned that Mr Mafuya of the South African Department of Minerals and Energy declared that the African Exploration Mining and Finance Company is to proceed with it’s application for prospecting rights. He further stated that the report that AEMFC had withdrawn it’s application was “incorrect”.

According to Decanter.com today, the Winelands Action Group  is accusing the AEMFC of “bureucratic bungling” or of imparting false information. A diplomatic way of saying that they lied. This coalition includes the Cape Winemakers Guild, Wines of South Africa (WOSA), farm worker forums, Worldwide Fund for Nature and other affected groups.

While Decanter was unable to contact the minister of the Department of Minerals and Energy for comment, the coalition is calling  director-general Sandile Nobxina to “step in and put an end to this farcical situation.”

The Winelands Action Group has appealed to the chairman of AEMFC to withdraw the plans and clarify the situation.
